Hello
I have a problem with the internet on PC, I'm running 2 operating systems on my pc Windows 7 Ultimate & Windows 8.1 Pro, the problem is Windows 7 Ultimate won't connect to the internet while windows 8.1 Pro works fine, I've tried connecting to my router but it wont detect it for some reason :3 I've tried plugging in the Ethernet cable but end up with the same problem.
 
Solution


From the manufacturer website only. Anywhere else is either $$, hassle, virus, or other weirdness.

While in Windows 7, Device Manager. Click on the network adapter, and see what it says.
You should be able to get the driver from the manufacturer's support section.

Yes, that is the reason for your issues. You need to install all those drivers.
